Résumé

This Resolution of the Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC), adopted in accordance with the provisions of Article IX, paragraph 1 of the IOTC Agreement, recalling IOTC Resolution 05/05 concerning the conservation of sharks caught in association with fisheries managed by IOTC and recognising the need to establish a scientific framework for the conservation and management of shark species in IOTC, requires the Commission to determine the shark species that are subjected to IOTC Conservation and Management Measures, including prohibition to retain on board, tranship, land or store any part or whole carcass according to the IOTC Scientific Committee's recommendation or advice. CPCs shall prohibit, as an interim pilot measure, all fishing vessels(except artisanal fishing vessels) flying their flag and on the IOTC Record of Authorised Vessels, or authorised to fish for tuna or tuna-like species managed by the IOTC on the high seas to retain onboard, tranship, land or store any part or whole carcass of oceanic whitetip sharks and shall require fishing vessels flying their flag and on the IOTC Record of Authorised Vessels or authorised to fish for tuna and tuna-like species managed by the IOTC on the high seas to promptly release unharmed, to the extent practicable, of oceanic whitetip sharks when brought alongside for taking onboard the vessel. CPCs shall encourage fishermen to take other shark protection measures.
